Students beat Teacher to death over gambling in Oyo
A teacher at Soun High School in Ogbomoso, Mr. Fatai Adegoke, has died after being attacked by his students while trying to stop them from gambling during school hours.
Reports indicate that Mr. Adegoke confronted a group of students who were gambling inside a classroom and cautioned them against the act. However, the students allegedly turned on him and beat him severely, leaving him with multiple injuries, including broken limbs.
He was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital but sadly died from the injuries he sustained.
In a statement, a group of concerned educators expressed deep sorrow over the incident, saying, “With deep pain and righteous indignation, we mourn the tragic and avoidable death of Mr. Fatai Adegoke, a dedicated teacher who was brutally attacked by his own students while trying to stop them from gambling during school hours.”
“This horrifying act is not just an assault on one man, it is an attack on the entire teaching profession.”
The statement further called on the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, TESCOM, and law enforcement agencies to take immediate action against those responsible, stressing that parents should also be held accountable.
Educators described the incident as a reflection of moral decay in schools and homes, urging authorities to restore safety and discipline within learning institutions.
Efforts to reach the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, for confirmation were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, students involved are reportedly in hiding, fueling public outrage across the community.
The incident has reignited calls for urgent measures to protect teachers and ensure that classrooms remain safe spaces for learning and discipline.
